Ground staff at Air France extended their strike at Paris' Orly airport on Monday (21 February), causing further flight disruptions.

Air France said that about 83% of the 204 scheduled flights from the Orly West terminal in Paris took place. Flights were expected to return to normal on Tuesday (22 February).

The strike was launched as a protest against the dismissal of an employee after an accident on 1 February, in which a flight attendant fell to her death while trying to disembark from an aircraft onto a mobile staircase, reported Reuters.

Workers in the southwestern city of Toulouse also walked off the job on Monday (21 February) in a show of support for their colleagues in Paris.
